Front Bumper compatibility

[Graden56]

I am trying to figure what trucks could fit my bumper even with modification, I have a 2004 2500HD, with a custom made Body Armor bumper and this thing is huge. I am wondering what trucks this should fit? I found a really nice truck that I want but its a 2007 2500HD and it not the classic body, its the newer body style, how close are the chassis mounts for the front bumper on the newer ones? I am not against modifying things to make it fit, also will this bumper fit the 3500HD of the classic bodies?

Not sure on the 07.5+ NBS truck fitment, but shI would think it would fit an 01-07.5 3500 truck.

Thanks, I also found out that Chevy didn't change the 2500hd chassis until 2011, does that mean that the bumper mounts should be close?

I remember Ben checked out the new-at-the-time LMM chassis and found them to be similar. To be sure, I would be going to a junkyard and doing some measuring.

The bumper will bolt to the frame, but it won't even be close with the body lines and may not clear the fender, grille, or headlights.

The way the bumper bolts to frame is different between the two. That said you could weld the classic style brackets to the NBS frame no problem. What josh said will be the nest problem.

Thanks for the replies, looks like I'm sticking to the classic body style. I will not settle until I find a 6.0 with a sunroof!
